“Ramanennum Porali” by Anwar Sadath, Ranjith Jayaraman, and Nishad KK appears on the album Achanoru Vaazha Vechu. The song, written by its performers, opens by asking who will fight the many modern “Ravanas” calling for war. This question establishes a contemporary battleground for a mythological hero.

Anwar Sadath | Ranjith Jayaraman • From “Achanoru Vaazha Vechu”
Achanoru Vaazha Vechu’s Ramanennum Porali Lyrics Translation
The lyrics describe today’s villains as “demons of the mind” with an intellect equal to ten heads. To fight them, the hero uses the “sharp point of truth’s arrow” instead of a physical weapon. This turns the conflict into a fight based on morality and righteousness.

The song then widens its focus, stating that many innocent people, or “Janakis,” are waiting for a savior. It transforms the ancient tale into a modern call for a protector to stand up against sophisticated evil. The song is a direct appeal for a new kind of hero armed with truth.
